Subject: How to identify the users?
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 13:52:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACkbei+Jby13B7rsEb3iLQM2ZSFDgrkgvrYC5M7u4yatppvLxA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello everyone:

The user info of git client (user name and email) is set by the users
themselves, so , how to avoid userA pretend to be userB?

Git server could authentication the user, but it do nothing about the
user info of commit message.

For example:
There are 20 people of my team, and everyone can push to the public
repository(git server),
If I found some backdoor code in my project, and the commit record
shows it was committed by userA, so I ask userA: why do you do this?
but he told me: no, this is not my code, I have never committed such
thing.  ----and yes, everyone could change his user info to userA very
easily .

so... what should I do to avoid such situations?
Thanks!
